Welcome to my Warhammer 40K blog about Chaos Daemons, and specifically Tzeentch, the chaos god of change. Also discussed will be my drivelings and scribblings on myriad topics including rumors, my thoughts about competitive gaming, podcasts I like, my other chaotic 40K army (Space Wolves) and my new Warhammer Fantasy army (Ogres).

Winning a local Team Challenge with the Daemons

Hell just froze over... I'm thinking it might be time to hang up the Daemons for a while, or not. I guess even a broken clock is accurate twice a day. What am I talking about? My local gaming group (that plays at Olde World Gaming in Elk Grove, CA) just went down to Stockton, CA to visit the crew from Heroes on Paper. We played a three round Team Championship match, similar to ATC or ETC formats, but updated for 6th Edition. You can read my blog post on the draft rules here.

The short of it was that our team of seven had a narrow victory over our opponents. Out of 21 total games (3 rounds of 7 matches each) we went 11-9-1. My Daemons came out as the only undefeated army of the day with a lot of guys coming in 2-0.

I'll post up some battle reports when I have a moment, but I have to both congratulate my team and give a huge thank you to my opponents. I had 3 stellar games, two of which may very well have come down to a final die roll. So, when I started writing this article I was thinking I would hang up the Daemons for a bit and give my Wolves some more attention, but upon reflection, winning two close games isn't a route. I'm solid, but not an awesome player, and Chaos Daemons still rely on luck to pull off major wins.
